Property Description

The Wansbeck Hotel presents a fantastic opportunity for an experienced publican to run this traditional pub in Morpeth, Northumberland. Ready to trade, the pub is situated near to local shops and is a short bus ride to Morpeth town centre meaning there is plenty of opportunity to attract passing trade. The pub has huge potential with its facilities to attract customers back to the pub offering a quality home cooked meal and refreshing drinks. With tasteful décor throughout, the Wansbeck offers a traditional bar, a lounge area for dining and a patio area with seating to the front of the pub. Stonegate Pub Partners are now looking for an experienced publican who can rebuild the wet and food sales and improve the entertainment offer through sports and live music.

Private Accommodation: The private accommodation is in good condition and simply requires a personal touch. It comprises two bedrooms, a lounge area and kitchen.

Trading Style

Indoor trading area

Internally the pub is large and traditionally decorated comprising of two trading rooms including a lounge and bar. There is a mixture of fixed perimeter seating and loose tables and chairs allowing customers to enjoy a relaxed drink or a bite to eat in a comfortable setting. The bar is a great social area and provides plenty of room for patrons both sitting and standing. There are facilities to host live music, regular events and entertainment which would attract a steady custom. The lounge area is perfect for dining and can cater for around 60 covers and considerably more for functions. There is a trade kitchen capable of producing a home cooked food offer.

Outdoor trading area

There is a delightful patio located to the front of the pub providing seating for 20 customers and a large car park with space for 30 vehicles. Externally the pub is in good decorative order and there is room to extend the external drinking experience to take into account consumer preference.

Regional Manager Comments

The Wansbeck would ideally suit an experienced hands-on publican, to drive and rebuild the wet and food trade in this large catchment area. There is huge potential to attract previous customers back to the pub, therefore the new publican should look to improve the facilities such as extended dining times, sports viewing and entertainment.
